I meant about the module by @Piernas which is uploaded here (Addons Library)

sorry

[tessthepup]

The latest increase in seo score has come from adding a link to the bottom of my main page text which contains the <h1> tag text which in my case is from the 'New Products' module title.

What I would like to do is have the month name change every month so I do not have to manually change it.

This is the code from the module which displays the text

Code: Select all

<?php echo MODULE_CONTENT_TEXT_MAIN_TEXT; ?>

and I would like to add the following link to the language file or to the end of the above code

Code: Select all

<a href="https://mydomain.co.uk/products_new.php">Our April Favourites</a>

where 'April' is changed dynamically month by month.

I see from the new products module that the month is defined by %s but not sure what else and where to define it???

I hope that made sense lol

The code from the New Products module template is

Code: Select all

  <h4><?php printf(MODULE_CONTENT_CARD_PRODUCTS_HEADING, strftime('%B')); ?></h4>

The strftime('%B') is what makes the month change. You can replace the h4 stuff with whatever works for your case.

Thank you, that works however I have an erroneous number added to the end of the link

Our April Favourites76

not sure where that is coming from

Code: Select all

<div class="col-sm-<?php echo $content_width; ?> cm-i-text-main mx-auto jumbotron align-center text-justify p-4">
  <?php echo MODULE_CONTENT_TEXT_MAIN_TEXT; ?>
  <?php echo printf(MODULE_CONTENT_MAIN_TEXT_LINK, strftime('%B'));?>
</div>

Code: Select all

const MODULE_CONTENT_MAIN_TEXT_LINK  = '<a href="https://mydomain.co.uk/products_new.php">Our %s Favourites</a>';

A printf already displays. You don't need to echo it.

ah gotcha

[tessthepup]

Can we discuss link structure and in particular from the attached screenshot

'Some internal links have dynamic parameters. All internal URLs, which are not marked as nofollow, should not contain dynamic parameters.'

Is this even possible to resolve with the way Phoenix works?

That's what things like Ultimate SEO URLs do.

Note: as far as I know, that kind of advice is just voodoo. Twenty years ago, search engines had trouble with dynamic URLs. But then they fixed that.

It's possible that there may be other reasons to use static URLs. Long tail searches may fall back on keyword analysis. That's why Amazon uses amazon.com/keywords-here/dp/ID URLs. But if your space is at all competitive, then it's going to be more about effectiveness (as measured by Google Analytics) and to a lesser extent about inbound links. Keyword analysis is a distant third. If you want a high search rank then, you should

1. Make your pages valuable to searchers, so they click through to them.
2. Encourage sites to link to your pages, by having valuable information to which they want to link.
3. Make your keywords relevant to what people want, so if there are no sites (including yours) with a proven track record or inbound links, they can fall back on keywords. Which then prove your track record.
